Try to keep it on topic guys. We don't want to get yelled at by law for undermining his authority on the no no-topic thread rule.

All my Conduits made their own makeshift (I wanted them to do something on their own for once)
And I gave the devices to G, J, and Tech. Three people. Even if any of you decided to give it to someone else, it wouldn't work, because I have to personally activate it to a specific person.



IC: It's a bit hard to explain. Spambots are trying to take over the world and we are trying to stop them. Hmm... That was easier than I thought.[DOUBLEPOST=1376835295][/DOUBLEPOST]Oops, I used the style of writing you use on Myriad Reality in the Roleplayer Guild. No quotes, and actions in asterisks. Pretend those were words in the IC.

OOC: I fail to see why Tech would have any of those things. It's not like they'll do any good. He has his ways of doing things, much like everyone else has theirs. OH! I have an idea. Time to implement. :3

Techno was lighting small fires on top of his hand. Once he had put some flames inside the box, he let them have some sunlight, inside a domed area. He put the flowers in an area, that was similar to a greenhouse, latched their pots in, and took off. Techno had a few things to put together in the orbit station. Techno went upstairs. There was work to do, and he had a lot of it. Especially as of recently, because somebody had probably thought that it'd be a clever idea to use an experimental cannon on the spambots, and of course, they learnt how to make one. Although fusion reactors were undoubtedly fun to work with, it was probably not a good idea in such a craft. Techno fired up the air compressor and started by slowly carving away at a piece of Titanium. He wanted to experiment with some things before he did anything.

A hand shot out of the rubble of the former laboratory. Or, a claw. It was quite difficult to tell. Especially since whatever it was blurred between the two. It then began to eat away at the steel that used to reinforce the concrete. As it did so, it grew in mass. And continued growing. Soon, there was a grey shape there. And it wanted vengeance. Especially on the thing that had forced it into a small jar, which had the property in which he couldn't consume it, or make it be part of him.

Techno was done when a bolt of energy zipped past his head. He flipped around to see a humanoid unit standing there. It wanted to engage him in battle so that's what happened. As Techno began an engagement, a wall exploded into life, sending people flying. The first thing Techno did was remove the disguise. Considering the type of combat, that was easy enough. A lightning strike hit the unit, causing sparks to scatter everywhere, causing the disguise to burn up in a single instant. Spirit jumped, and spilled his Coffee all over the table, but he appeared to not notice as he tried to burn down the barrier. he failed, and Techno had to start dodging the various energetic projectiles coming his way. Techno, remembering how they learnt, just dodged, or blocked. All the while he was pulling in energy, which had surrounded him in a cloud. What he didn't notice was that he was wreaking havoc with other electronics and the range was growing. Once he had gathered a cloud of energy that was a metre in diameter, he noticed that instead of having to dodge the projectiles, the cloud was absorbing them, consuming them and adding to itself. Since enough energy had been gathered, Techno walked into the middle of the dome, suck in all the energy, and shoved it into the floor. The energy vanished into a single point, then exploded outwards in a shockwave. It rippled through the bunker, causing large amounts of structural damage. However, the effect was much more pronounced on the Spambots, most of them overloading, and exploding in small sparks. The energy collided with the side of the dome, rippling upward, and consuming it. It then flooded into the electrical wiring and steel structures of the bunker, flying off everywhere. Techno drained most of the energy, and put it in a small marble. He was then swamped by the sheer volume of people fleeing the bunker, afraid it might collapse, and so, put the marble in a bag.

OOC: We needed a new bunker, anyway. :3

OOC: But but but that was the new bunker you just destroyed! Dfaiudjhvdjicnveondodnoiernver!

IC:
Seriously?
*Shakes his head*
Do I have to make another new bunker? And how on earth did the Spambots find this one? New plan: Use a teleporter to transport us all to a random location somewhat near this area, build a connection there, and the Spambots won't have any idea where we are going! But neither will we.

EDIT: |And there's the Roleplayer style again. I'm too used to it.|

Whelp, at least this one can be destroyed. Last one I had a carefully executed plot that was supposed to destroy the bunker... But then Whiz decided to say "It's indestructible."

OOC: Since when did I say Indestructible? Oh, the Titanium Stuff? Well this one was exactly the same as the first, but it was destroyed just now thanks to someone who didn't know what he was doing... That's why we are making a new one. I'll... Reinforce it with Titanium TWICE! Yeah, that's what I'll do.

Whiz. Reinforcing it with titanium twice wouldn't do a damn thing -_- just make it thicker. Not harder to break. Tools of the same strength could still destroy it. Also, one does not simply build a base at the snap of their fingers no matter how many conduits they have.

I know right.
OOC: Whizz, if you don't stop god-moding, I'll personally go to England and rip off your nuts.
Yes. You've pissed me off to this point.


GPuzzle, if you don't stop awesome-modding, I'll personally go to Brazil and give you twenty dollars a present. Yes, you've made me happy to this point.



I suggest hiding. That's the best thing to do, and make strikes from page 1 to page 2.

Sorry, having a rhyming day, anyway, the best way to play is to cut off Spambot supply shipments, beware though.

Spambots are a lot more adaptive under the rule of Kameh. They can't just "oh, you used a gun, I can morph one from my armpits now" but the next legion you face might have it.

Are Spambots too OP? I suppose 682 could kill them though lol

Wait what did I do? It was a joke... I know it's not going to do anything.
And it's not at the snap of my fingers, it takes weeks!
(Or days, depending on how many construction workers I threaten hire)

I haven't actually tried the Construction Worker thing yet, though. It doesn't take really really long to build a bunker, thanks to various conduits who can control or generate certain non-element Metals. Now that I think of it, Titanium is an Element. In fact, the only thing I can think of that is hard enough and can be generated artificially is Diamond. Blargh.

Except diamond is easy to break if you can find the flaws and exploit them. It's like you're not even trying to do research.

Maybe you guys can make the Spambots Borg-like. You know, whatever you use against them will only work for short period of time before they adapt and you have to do incredibly dangerous stuff like infiltrate the Spambot base in order to exploit a super-specific flaw in their programming or something.

This would make it impossible for anyone(not pointing fingers in anyone's direction, especially not Whizz)to godmode without becoming God himself.

BTW, I used sarcasm at some point in this post. Cookies and milk to the person who finds it.

OOC: Actually, that'd give it so much mass it'd collapse upon itself. :p And would you rather be consumed by a spambot that can do magic, or destroy half the army, and save some time in the future, at the cost of your bunker?
Damnit tech. Now I wanna do a crossover, but I know everyone would die.
No, not really. :p Which thread do you intend to merge? I can get something going, for sure. :p

Just because it was indestructible didn't mean you could make it uninhabitable. ;)

Well, who said it had to be real? Technically, I could make the bunker out of BiUnoctium, other than the critical mass, you'd be fine. :p Also, build it yourself it'll give many more chances to spot design flaws and fix them. you also have friends who are willing to help you with this process.

Hooray! You can't track the source of an energetic overload. :p But you can use it. ;)
Techno was helping Spirit with the re-designing of the newer bunker. This time, it would be above ground, meaning it was safer from collapse. It seemed not to be too soon, as the roof started to cave in. A small box appeared. Techno gave a small smile, and jumped in, vanishing into what appeared to be thin air.

The inside of the box was as it had always bin. It was a safe haven for creatures, and it remained that way. Of course, none of the creatures inside liked a camera, or anything foreign, so they attacked it. Techno was hardly foreign. He had dedicated a century of work into this box, and intended to ensure it worked the way he wanted to. Inside, there was a bizarre mix of magic and technology. You had LCDs and Floating stones. For most people, this would have been an impossible maze. For people that knew the tips and tricks, it was little more than a stroll around a park.

OOC: Don't break it, and there's no way in, Whizz, so it's pointless trying. :p

|Why would I want to break in?|
That was... Odd... To say the least.
*walks away from area*
Hmm... Above ground, it would be way too easy to see, unless we camouflaged it, but if a Spambot bumped into it, it would automagically figure it out. That's why I had the below ground thing. And there isn't really much earth above the bunker, just about half a floor's worth. Not that much to weigh it down. We can figure it out when Techno exits that odd box.

That's sort of how they are. You could, for example, hack into one of their Sensorynets, which is information about their landscape, but they'd quickly realize how you got in then patch it up. The only surefire way would be to [REDACTED] the [REDACTED] in [REDACTED]. [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] and [REDACTED].

I suggest grabbing a spambot somewhere, and trying to figure it out without letting it broadcast to the others where it is or any other info.
